Acne can do more than cause a temporary blemish on your skin. Many people have significant acne scarring that lasts for years, even decades, after the pimples are long gone. If you have dark blotches or icepick scars from previous acne breakouts, there are non-surgical cosmetic procedures to eliminate these blemishes. At Dallas Facial Plastic Surgery Center, we offer advanced laser acne scar treatment at our aesthetic clinic in Irving, TX.

Deep acne pustules are often what cause scarring. When the skin is damaged, scar tissue is formed, and it can permanently change the skin appearance. Severe acne can result in pockmarked skin and discolorations that can affect your confidence and appearance. Topical creams and DIY home treatments can only do so much to improve acne scars. The most effective solution is professional skin laser treatments, as well as some other cosmetic treatments we offer at Dallas Facial Plastic Surgery Center.

Laser Acne Scar Removal

Laser skin treatments are very effective for removing discolorations on the skin and resurfacing uneven skin texture. The type of laser treatment used for acne scar removal depends on the type of scar and the severity. Laser skin resurfacing is one effective option for smoothing pockmarks and fading dark skin spots left behind from acne. This can permanently improve the tone and texture of the skin and erase most signs of acne scarring. Laser resurfacing uses light energy to remove the top epidermis of the skin, eliminating the damaged cells. New skin cells are created, improving the appearance of your skin.

Skin Treatments for Acne Scars

Laser resurfacing is effective for acne scar removal, but it does require downtime. There are also other cosmetic treatments that can offer results without the recovery time. Chemical peels, IPL treatments, dermabrasion, microneedling and dermal filler injections are possible options for reducing the appearance of acne scars. These treatments can be performed at our clinic and require little or no downtime.
